Here’s everything that was announced at X019

X019, a celebration of all things Xbox, is set to run from the 14th until the 16th of November. The event kicked off with a special episode of Inside Xbox that had all manner of announcements, from game reveals to xCloud details, and we’ve gathered all the news you need below.

For more information on certain entries, you can click on the title to be taken to our relevant article. Enjoy!

Everwild is the latest game from Rare and a completely new IP. Not much is currently known about Everwild, aside from it being a “unique and unforgettable experience” set in a “natural and magical world.”

You can watch the announcement for Everwild above. Be warned: the trailer features an absolutely adorable flowery-eared-deer-type-creature that may make you cry with how adorable it is. Totally not speaking from experience here.

In West of Dead, you play as the dead cowboy William Mason (voiced by Ron Perlman) as he travels around the gritty world of Purgatory. The game is a fast-paced twin-stick shooter set in procedurally generated hunting grounds. This town isn’t big enough for the both of us, partner.

West of Dead is currently in open beta on Xbox One and players can test it out until November 25th.

A whole bunch of new games are heading to Xbox Game Pass

Xbox Game Pass is always getting new games, so this one isn’t too much of a surprise. Below, you’ll find a list of what’s coming to Xbox Game Pass between right now and 2020:

A “Black Widow” first gameplay teaser trailer for CrossfireX was released, with the trailer using in-engine footage to show off what we can expect from the upcoming game. CrossfireX is due out in 2020.

Jurassic World Evolution is getting a new DLC featuring the voices of the original film’s cast

Jurassic World Evolution is going back to Jurassic Park in the aptly named Return To Jurassic Park DLC. Packed to the brim with nostalgia and Jeff Goldbum, the new DLC sees you reclaiming the park from the dinosaurs, rebuilding iconic locations, and overcoming brand new challenges guided by none other than Dr. Alan Grant, Dr. Ellie Sattler, and the mesmerising Dr. Ian Malcolm themselves.

The original film’s voice cast have also returned to voice their respective roles! The DLC also features Jurassic Park-inspired attractions, new dinosaurs including the Pteranodon and Compsognathus, legacy skin variants, and a 1993-inspired overlay and inventory. Life finds a way.

Everyone’s favourite theme park simulation game that isn’t RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 or 2 is officially coming to the Xbox One family of consoles in summer 2020.

In Planet Coaster, you build and maintain your very own theme park. The game has three modes: Career, Sandbox, and Challenge. That means that you can either stick to the rules and play along with a scenario, go completely wild and do whatever your heart desires, or do the latter but with the added difficulty of having to keep an eye on your funds. Wheeee!

KartRider is coming to Xbox

KartRider is getting an Xbox port called KartRider: Drift. To quote the official YouTube video description:

KartRider: Drift is the only free-to-play kart racer where arcade thrills, the fastest skilled competition, & deep kart + character customization awaits you on the track. No Limits. All Drift.

Tell Me Why is a brand new game from Dontnod that’s set to release in full on Xbox One in summer 2020. Twins Tyler and Alyson must use their special-twin-bond to navigate their memories of their loving, albeit troubled, childhood.

The game is set to deal with mature themes and gripping choices. One of the twins, Tyler, is a transgender man, and game director Florent Guillaume thanked Microsoft for its “full support, openness, and help regarding Tyler’s identity and character as a transgender man.”

Last Stop is coming to PC and console in 2020

Last Stop is a brand new game from Variable State, who also created the award-winning Virginia, and published by Annapurna Interactive.

The game is an anthology that compiles three stories into one – kind of like Pulp Fiction or Amores Perros. Three separate characters find their worlds colliding together during a supernatural event and the game revolves around secret lives, the ties that bind, and how magic can be found in the mundane.

It’s been an entire 14 years since Age of Empires III, so we’re sort of overdue the next instalment in the series. While we didn’t receive a release date for Age of Empires IV, we did receive some other news: the studio behind the game is officially known as World’s Edge.

Bleeding Edge will officially release early next year

Bleeding Edge, the game that looks like Overwatch and Borderlands had a boisterous child, is officially releasing on March 24th, 2020. You can pre-order it by following the link here. Xbox Game Pass members can also pre-install it to receive access to the Closed Beta and the bonus Punk Pack!

Wasteland 3 received a 2020 release date

The post-apocalyptic tactical RPG Wasteland 3 will come out on Xbox Game Pass for console and PC on May 19th, 2020. For those without Game Pass, you can also pre-order it on Xbox One, Windows 10, and Steam.

I’m not even going to try to pretend that I understand Kingdom Hearts or how its story works, but Xbox loyalists will finally be able to understand Kingdom Hearts 3 a little better while playing.

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX and Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue are included in the collection.

No exact release date for the collection was given, but it’ll be arriving sometime in 2020.

Sea of Thieves is getting a new update on November 20th

This is a small update, so we’ll summarise it in a small sentence: Sea of Thieves new story-focused update, The Seabound Soul, will bring a new Tall Tale quest along with a new ammo type in the form of firebombs.

Halo: Reach is coming to console and PC on December 3rd

Halo: Reach is being added to the Halo Master Chief Collection and will release as both part of the collection and on its own on December 3rd. For more information on the Master Chief Collection, you can check out the official page here.
